What is the difference between nhibernate and entity framework in batching?

Question

I want to select one of the above orm. What is the difference between nhibernate and entity framework in batching?

Candor

How do you mean the difference in batching? What characteristics are you interested in? – Cherry

Is EF supports batching operations? – Candor

Answer 1

NHibernate can:

• Send multiple updates/inserts/deletes at once
• Load multiple proxies of a type at once
• Load multiple collections of a type at once
• Execute object oriented DML statements
• Manually group queries in a single roundtrip (multiqueries, futures)

EF can:

• None of the above

Answer 2

The difference is that EF natively doesn't have any command batching so every update, insert or delete is executed in separate round trip to the database - but in my previous question are some links to workarounds. EF also doesn't have any alternative to NHibernate future queries (way to batch multiple queries to single database round trip).

Is this still the case 2 years later with the lack of future queries? – Anticipative

@MikeCole: If we talk about EF the answer is yes. There are some open source projects making this little bit better but it is still far from real built-in solution. – Kitty
